EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "An English jack-tar giving monsieur a drubbing" captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history. Created by Robert Sayer in 1779, this sanguine engraving depicts the French and British naval battle off Ushant that took place in July 1778. The image is associated with The Victory, symbolizing the triumph of one side over the other. The reference to Keppler adds an acrimonious tone to the artwork as he was court-martialed due to his conduct during the battle. Harland, Keppel's second-in-command, is also mentioned, highlighting their alliance against Sir Hugh Palliser who had set up Keppel following a stalemate. Sayer takes sides with Keppel and champions him through this piece. Despite being acquitted without comment, Keppel's reputation among common sailors remains intact and they rally behind him. This engraved image showcases not only historical events but also Victorian art culture and illustrative techniques. It exudes nostalgia for a bygone era and offers us a glimpse into old-fashioned romanticism. With its aged appearance and traditional style, it serves as a reminder of historic art's enduring beauty. The Liszt Collection presents this artwork from their archives, allowing us to appreciate its significance within our collective history while immersing ourselves in its timeless charm.
